Abstract:
Even though the link budget for the traditional Radio Frequency-based (RF) communication systems has been explored widely and various RF-channel models have been proposed, neither of those models deal with the Magnetic Induction Communication Systems (NFMIC), which is emerging as a highly advantageous physical layer access method in short range communications. Hence, in this paper we have proposed a NFMIC channel model for the very first time; we call this model Agbinya-Masihpour NFMIC channel model. Based on the proposed model, we have simulated the communication system and examined how the ferrite-cored coil improves the communication range. The simulation results have shown that the permeability of the core material has a crucial impact on enhancing the communication range also reducing the antenna size.
